Afterlife Simulation

Afterlife Simulation
Book One of the Afterlife Simulation Series

Grace stopped believing in anything the night her husband died running an errand for their daughter's birthday. Now she works the night shift mopping hospital floors while a virus tears through the city, the projects close in around her, and her thirteen-year-old daughter still prays to a God Grace has long since stopped arguing with.

Joy never stopped believing. She can't afford to. It's the only thing standing between her and everything the dark has already taken from them both.

But something far older than either of their faiths is moving through the margins of the city - patient, unseen, and utterly convinced that what it's doing is justice. It doesn't care what Grace believes. It has already decided what she owes.

As grief, poverty, and a world quietly coming apart push mother and daughter to the edge, Grace is forced to confront the one question she's spent a lifetime avoiding: what if the thing waiting on the other side isn't comfort, and isn't even God - but something that's been watching all along, keeping score?

Afterlife Simulation is a story about grief that doesn't finish with you, faith that doesn't come easy, and the terrifying possibility that something is still watching long after the world stops making sense.
